Maybe he would not be such the good dad today if they had continued those kind of bad manners & living at home so take solace in your past actions

Pride, some resentment, wife, -as you said you do not know his inner stuff and they want to stay separated what can you do?
maybe look around at your 2 kids and the love among the immediate family now to stop crying today?

Hope you can carry that love in your heart to stay strong when you have to hear about him from your parents
